About Derby U3A

WE PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITES FOR RETIRED PEOPLE IN AND AROUND DERBY.

Derby U3A was founded in 1985. It is part of a worldwide organisation and is a self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operative for retired, semi-retired and about-to-retire people of any age to participate in learning, social and recreational activitie. We welcome people of every race, gender, disability, religion or belief, and sexual orientation.

We have a wide-ranging selection of interest groups. All our activities are led by unpaid volunteers who encourage all members to participate in the group. No qualifications are required, and none are given. Click Groups for more info.

Each month we hold a meeting of general interest with a visiting speaker. It is aimed at bringing members together, publicising the activities of the Groups, and giving members a sense of fellowship in the U3A. We welcome non-members to attend one or two of these meetings as to meet members and group organisers, and to get a feel of what the U3A has to offer before joining. Details can be found on the Events page.
